According to court documents and three days of testimony during trial, the case originated from a South Florida Internet Crimes against Children Task Force investigation into an individual suspected of possessing and trading child pornography using a peer to peer file sharing network.

Authorities said the individual was later identified as Price.

A search warrant was executed on Price's residence, where agents say they discovered a hard drive hidden behind boxes in the home.

Subsequent examination revealed that the hard drive was protected by encryption and contained hundreds of images and videos of child pornography, according to authorities.
